Jil/1W n NrrED STATES IMPROVEMENT IN CARRIERS FCR ACIDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,590, dated July 13, 1875; applica-tion tiled January Q5, 1875.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANKLIN H. KALE- FLEISGH, ot' Brooklyn, in the county ot' Kings and State ot' New York, have inventedan Improved Carrier for Acids, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying` drawing and the letters ot' reference marked thereon making part of this specification, in which is represented a vertical sectional view ot my improved carrier.

rlhe object ot my invention consists in providing a suitable carrier for such acids as oil ot` vitriol, &c., and one which will permit of their safe transportation and in convenient quantities to meet the Wants of the trade.

The nature ot' my invention consists in constructing the carrier of some suitable heavy material, and with a pouring-nozzle, and in lining' the same with lead extending through the nozzle and surrounding its edges, and which material, as is well'known, will resist the destructive action due to the causticity ot the acids.

The construction and operation of my invention are as follows: G is the outer casing, and is tobe constructed ot suitable heavy material, and is to be otl such form and dimensions `as will conform to the interior vessel A, so

that when it incloses said vessel it will t snugly around the same. I prefer to make this outerl vessel of iron, andwhich may be tinned or galvanized and of the ordinary can form, as shown in the accompanying drawing. The body ot' this vessel O is constructed of ordinary black iron, and its end pieces are stamped out of the same material and provided with a deep vertical ange, D. The end pieces or heads are inserted in the cylinder after the vessel A has been placed therein and secured by groove or bead joints a a, as clearly illustrated in the drawing. The upper s tructed or formed in one piece. The bottom B2 is secured to the cylinder or body B1 by burning the same to it by means of a blowpipe, a process Well known to Workers in lead for acid manufactures.

By reference to the drawing it will be seen that the throat or nozzle b of the interior vessel passes up through the throat or nozzle d of the outer vessel, and is turned down, overlapping or surrounding its upper surface, and thus the carrier is provided with a permanent opening or nozzle for filling and emptying the same, as is usual in demijohns or carboys, and one through which sulphuric and other like acids, oil ot vitriol, Sto., can safely be poured Without danger ot' the material of which the outer casing is constructed. being injuriously affected through the caustic actionv ot' the acids.

I am aware that vessels constructed of an outer heavy casing and lined with lead, tin, and other like anticorrosive metals have been used het'ore; therefore I make no broad claim tovsuch a vessel; but

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

A carrier for caustic acids, provided with a pouringnozzle and lined with lead extending through the nozzle and overlapping its upper surface or edge, as shown and described.

In testimony whereot'Ihave signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
